Status of e200 v1 sound?

[r00tb33r]

I don't think there is any e200 v1 user on this forum that would disagree that the RockBox sound on e200 v1 target is anywhere close to ideal.
I have searched the forum and found a lot of talk about patches, but it mostly dates back to 2007.  As of current build, what patches are not committed to the source tree that could improve the sound quality?
I am deciding on whether I want to keep my e280.  Will sound ever reach the quality of the stock firmware or is this a target to pass on?

Its as good as it can get.

Its been identical to the stock firmware since spring 07.

In 3.2 and the daily build?  It sounds muddy, buzzy/distorted/clipped.

I'm not experiencing any noticeable distortion

Without any bass/treble/equalizer, and with volume at 0db or less?

No eq, -7db.

[Llorean]

In the original firmware, exact same files, no sound altering settings?

Have you tried doing an objective test (RMAA perhaps)?

r00tb33r, try adding some precut (say 5dB) and see if it improves things.

Mine sounds easily as good as with the OF.  And better when parametric EQ is used. 

[AlexP]

They sound identical to me.

The sound quality on the e200 is as good, if not better, when using Rockbox over the OF, in my opinion.
